i broke it down financially that if they buy 20 challenger SE’s at a discount of say 18K. gave one away at 20 games. and sold an average of 5000 more tickets a game (on weekday night games) times our per cap ticket revenue…they would make 1.3 million after expenses. ur ticket to that game would be basically a raffle ticket for the car that night plus a baseball game. i’m sick of these contests that you have to guess how much stuff is in the bed of a truck or if the pitcher hits a gran slam in the 8th inning. and not a dumb ass neon or some hunk of crap…atleast a challenger is a flashy car that people want even if you give away an SE. it has to be black too… hell work a deal with dodge and you might even get them to give a bigger discount for free advertisement. BUT NO… you got a bunch of people that went to “COLLEGE” and studied “MARKETING” and dont know their ass from a hole in the ground… God forbid anyone in that organization use common sense. ---
